poolside | King's Game Returns

For the month of June, the Neighbors Club (a.k.a. the Friendless Losers Club) will be playing the King's Game! Since it is a game commonly played with friends at parties (or so Yozora says) the Neighbors Club will be doing a practice run-through of the game. Again. She still needs to get revenge on some people...

Wait, what is the Neighbors Club?
The Neighbors Club is a club Yozora founded in her canon. It's a club that aims to help those without friends become "normals" or riajuu and make friends. Their activities often involve playing games, acting exercises, playing games, going places, playing games... Actually, they do nothing but play games. But that should be fine, right!? More info here. If your character wants to join, they can sign up there and talk about/handwave them joining, too.

What is the King's Game?
This video explains it more clearly than I ever will. HOWEVER! Yozora's version has a twist. The King has to pick an order at random from a box full of orders written by everyone else.

Sounds like fun! How will this work?

1. Comment here to sign up. Sign-ups will close when we reach 24 people (excluding Yozora) OR by Friday evening GMT +8 - whichever comes first. One character per mun, please! SIGN-UPS ARE NOW CLOSED.
2. Once you've done that, fill out the form here and write 3 - 5 orders ICly. Example. Comments will be screened.
3. Wait for the final list of players to be announced when the slots are full OR on Saturday morning GMT +8! A log will be set up soon after.

What will the log look like?
Here's a sample log! Players will not get to choose the number or order they pick - both will be decided by RNG. Unless...

My character is a cheater and will most likely cheat at this game. How do I do this?
Don't worry, Yozora's a cheater, too. They can't mess with what number they'll get, but they can mess with the orders. See this example comment!

How many rounds will there be?
25! Not everyone will get to be king, but this will ensure that everyone will at least get to play something out.

My character is not a part of the Neighbor's Club, but I want to join!
No problem! Yozora or another member of the club could have roped them in somehow shortly before the game begins. This will be handwaved.

Aww, I didn't get to sign up!
Who knows? There may even be a third round in the future.

Any comments, suggestions, concerns and plotting threads are welcome in this post!

Miu Matusoka will be relegated to props. It's her job to make sure the game runs smoothly as a referee! She will be interfering here and there, but she will not be part of the pool.

Jungo Torii will be participating. He may or not bring a cat.
